Faith, Trust, & Mickey Glitter -- A PTR from a 16 year old [[7 DAYS UNTIL WE LEAVE!]]

[Manda_the_pirate]

Hello everyone! My name is Amanda!
Guess what? We are going to Disneyworld again! Yayyy!

August 30th - September 11th 2008

This will be our 5th time going in 4 years, and our 4th time taking advantage of the *FREE* Dining Plan! We’ve made all of our ADRs, and I’m very excited about them! (I’ll post the itinerary in coming posts.)

This trip we are driving… Not my choice. I’m not looking forward to an 18 hour drive with 7 people in one van. Last year we flew for the first time and it was awesome! I guess mom and DSis Kayla like the “building up to” feeling they get from driving to Disney.

Alright, let’s get to know the cast a little better, shall we?

Mom She is a self proclaimed Disney freak! She is very brave in raising all five of us kids, as well as home schooling the younger three. On top of that, she works part time at a Daycare that is associated with the YMCA.

Dad He too loves Disney, although I’m not sure it’s as much as us! He works as a long distance truck driver, and comes home for the weekends. Aside from Disney, he love Star Wars!

Amanda (me!) 16 I love, love, love all things Disney! I sleep mith my $25 dollar stuffed eeyore from the MK every night! I attend a co-op for my home schooling, and I plan to do post-secondary in my senior year. Mulan is my Disney hero!

Dsis12: Kayla She loves planning Disney vacations with my mom. She too attends the co-op with me, and she likes it! Her favorite character is Minnie Mouse, and she even has red polka dotted shoes!

Dsis10: Becca Becca is our families own personal Eeyore. Haha. She loves swinging on our disk swing, playing her Nintendo DS and sketching pokemon characters.

DBro7: Owen He is very creative, and loves drawing. He goes through phases where he is really into different characters. His recent phase was sponge bob, and even more recent is Mario! He goes full out, dressing like the character, and acting like them. It’s pretty entertaining!

DBro5: Evan He also goes through phases and most often follows Owen’s lead. He loves playing with legos, and jumping on the trampoline. He loves Mickey Mouse!


Well, that’s the cast and the start of my PTR! Stay tuned for our itinerary!
